I don't care about Jane at all. I don't mind her, and the part of me that likes her is mostly my brain getting her mixed up with my liking Natalie Portman. And I'll go further: I don't see any chemistry whatsoever between her and Thor in Thor 1, and I am forever bitter about the heteronormativity that will force any man-woman pair together while refusing to acknowledge relationships that THEY write and hold much more depth, significance and backstory. But I don't hate HER. And I don't mind people who do, as long as they can justify it with reasons that I might understand, even if I don't share them. "Jane was a dick to that cute guy she was trying to date in TDW, she stood him up twice, what an asshole!" i mean, that's one thing to focus on i guess, and if you want to dislike her because of it, go ahead? My problem is with people that call her names but their only feud with her is her relationship with Thor, like its HER fault that Thor fell in love with her and not, like, the stupid writers that thought it was romantic. I agree re: a movie about Jane (but they'd have to give her an interesting enough plot) and the fic breakups - I like her having her own agency and making the decisions that will protect herself in the long run and will help her get where she wants to be in life.
